I just can't take to Greg
He reminds me of one of those gentlemen who asks you to dance and you come off the dance floor feeling like you've been pushed around by a bulldozer. And in his wake he has left a trail of indignant couples who had to take evasive action.
He may be a good dancer, but will never be an elegant one.Perhaps it was the sprung floor which made it more obvious? At times,last night, I thought he would end up in the first balcony. |

I find myself blowing hot and cold with Greg. In the early stages I really liked him, thought he was the perfect partner for Natalie, and had a good attitude. As the weeks have gone on, though, I've been frustrated by his lack of progress. I was starting to get bored with him, but funnily enough I really enjoyed his performance last night, he sort of lightened up and looked like he was having fun, rather than labouring at it, looking agonised and trying too hard. There is something about him that I find a teency bit dull, personality-wise, but that's my problem, not his. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

I like Greg. He seems a sweet guy and I love the amount of effort he puts in but I just don't like his soul cloying partnership with Nat. I cringe when she pipes up in front of the judges or goes on and on about how marvellous he is on ITT

With the dullness thing, I sort of find myself feeling a bit the same about Claudia. Really nice person, works diligently, nails the footwork in the ballroom, and it's genuinely fab to see how much she is enjoying it. But there's something a little too nice and clean-cut for me about many sports people - they are mostly all about work ethic and sensibleness and determination - again, I know that doesn't apply to all sports people across the board, and it's just a personal prejudice of mine, but it doesn't push my buttons. I think I like things spiced up with a little diva-ishness and instability!

I adore Greg. He works so hard, and I don't blame Nat for gushing about him whenever they're on camera. And he has improved so much. They're my favourite couple by a mile.

He's a bit too intense for Strictly in terms of personality and movement. As a person he strikes me as a very interesting character, i may buy his biog to read over xmas.

I like him, he has had the most improvement this series imo and I like his partnership with Natalie.

This old woman thinks he is gorgeous but his dancing leaves me cold.

Maybe the problem this year is the dire choices of music, it has been particularly inappropriate. |

His movements when walking are beginning to look more dancer-ish. I commented (probably to myself) at the start of the series that he was still stomping around, out of hold. I thought he looked much better last night, especially in the opening dance.

I think they are all a bit cold this year tbh.There is very little connection going on with the music. Only Claudia and Rob seem to show any joy with the dance imo.
Maybe the problem this year is the dire choices of music, it has been particularly inappropriate. She's not the only one to suffer with the dire music but she's definitely had it the worse. |

I am a big Claudia fan as I love gymnastics but she has had a raw deal on this show with the music and dresses. She has just got on with it and seems to be really enjoying it. Why could they not give her some traditional jive music for Blackpool?
She's not the only one to suffer with the dire music but she's definitely had it the worse. |

Judging by Natalie's tweets they seem more than a little bit fond of each other.
